ideal amps for JM Lab Utopia system

what do you mean to old for tubes? utopias love tubes. i run mine 24/7 . i guess if you really do not want to use tubes . i agree with cornfedboy, on the jeff rowland. gryphon , and burmeister maybe as well. i still say tubes are best though. good luck in your quest. the utopias are great speakers.

Dear Sir,

If you don't want to get tubes but like a tube sound you should concider listening to Electrocompaniet Nemo monoblocks they are tube like sound but also better for bottom and top end and 600W a side, with very mininal disturtion.
You will enjoy them.

buy duet 350s they are great, I've got 2 bridged in mono to do biamp on ML Request there is no need for great power and only the performance II will outperform it, I would even put duet everywhere for the home cinema if I had the space...
But I can't, no offence you've got a great system, superb loudspeakers but classe Amps are not transparent and precise enough for the utopias, nice for surround though...

Trust me get a 2 duets 350s and bridge them, it would kill any krell, Mark levison or anything that I've heard any day

my 2c if it's worth it!

PS: you are lucky to have a palette I'm looking for one now, it is a joy to use particularly when it is required -:)

Utopias driven by Audio Research Ref two + Ref 600 were the best system I heard. But with 66 tubes, I a not sure they have a chance with you ...

You might want to consider the Belles Power Modules 350A monos. They will give you the power, performance and reliability that you're looking for. Backed up by a wonderful manufacturer who is accessible.Read a great review of the 350A at soundstage.com.
Good luck!
